Introduction
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual includes installation,
operation, maintenance, and parts ordering
information for M Series manual handwheel gear
actuators. Refer to separate manuals for instructions
covering the valves used with these actuators.
W4715-1 / IL
Do not install, operate, or maintain an M Series
handwheel gear actuator without first D being fully
trained and qualified in valve, actuator, and
accessory installation, operation, and maintenance,
and D carefully reading and understanding the
contents of this manual. If you have any questions
about these instructions, contact your Emerson
Process Managementt sales office before
proceeding.
Description
M Series handwheel gear actuators (figure 1) are
totally enclosed, weatherproof, worm gear actuators
for reliable manual operation with Type A11, A31A
and A41 High Performance Butterfly Valves. The M
actuator consists of a body housing, cover, worm
gear, input shaft, and handwheel. The housing is
grease packed.

Specifications
Specifications for the M Series manual handwheel
gear actuators are shown in table 1.

Neither Emerson, Emerson Process
Management, nor any of their affiliated
entities assumes responsibility for the
selection, use and maintenance of any
product. Responsibility for the
selection, use, and maintenance of any
product remains with the purchaser

Handwheel Rotation
Clockwise handwheel rotation closes the valve
(produces clockwise rotation of the valve shaft)

Installation
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property
damage resulting from the sudden
release of pressure, do not install the
actuator where service conditions
could exceed the limits given in this
manual or on the appropriate
nameplates. Use pressure-relieving
devices as required by government or
accepted industry codes and good
engineering practices.
Always wear protective gloves,
clothing, and eyewear when
performing any installation operations
to avoid personal injury.
Check with your process or safety
engineer for any additional measures
2
that must be taken to protect against
process media.
If installing into an existing
application, also refer to the WARNING
at the beginning of the Maintenance
section in this instruction manual.
The M Series gear actuator is normally mounted on
a valve at the factory. However, the actuator can be
field mounted; it can be mounted in any position on
the Type A11 or A31A and it can be mounted in
positions 1 and 3 on the Type A41, as shown in
figure 2. Make clearance considerations before
mounting the actuator to determine the most suitable
mounting position.
The M Series actuator has a direct stab-on design.
Simply insert the valve shaft into the broached area
of the body housing. Then attach the mounting
bracket to the actuator, using the torques listed in
table 5, and attach the mounting bracket to the
valve.

Operation
After the actuator and control valve assembly are
installed, the manual actuator is ready for operation.
CAUTION
Applying too much torque to the
actuator and valve parts could cause
damage to the parts. To avoid such
damage, do not exceed the rim force
listed in table 2, 3 and 4 or any other
torque limitation of internal valve
parts. Also, do not use wrenches or
other devices on the handwheel or
handwheel shaft to increase operating
force.

Maintenance
WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden
release of process pressure. Before
performing any maintenance
operations:
D Always wear protective gloves,
clothing, and eyewear when
performing any maintenance
operations to avoid personal injury.
D Disconnect any operating lines
providing air pressure, electric power,
or a control signal to the actuator. Be
sure the actuator cannot suddenly
open or close the valve.
D Use bypass valves or completely
shut off the process to isolate the
Instruction Manual
Form 5454
November 2007
M Series Actuator
valve from process pressure. Relieve
process pressure on both sides of the
valve. Drain the process media from
both sides of the valve.
D Vent the power actuator loading
pressure and relieve any actuator
spring precompression.
D Use lock-out procedures to be
sure that the above measures stay in
effect while you work on the
equipment.
D The valve packing box may
contain process fluids that are
pressurized, even when the valve has
been removed from the pipeline.
Process fluids may spray out under
pressure when removing the packing
hardware or packing rings, or when
loosening the packing box pipe plug.
D Check with your process or safety
engineer for any additional measures
that must be taken to protect against
process media.
If the rim force required to rotate the handwheel
exceeds the rim force listed in table 2, 3, or 4, check
for the following conditions:
1. Isolate the control valve from the line pressure,
release pressure from both sides of the valve body,
and drain the process media from both sides of the
valve.
2. Remove the cap screws that secure the gearbox
cover plate and remove the gearbox cover plate.
3. Coat the worm, the drive sleeve gear teeth, and
the bearing surfaces of the gearbox housing and
worm with a quality gear lubricant.
4. Replace the cover plate and cap screws using
the bolt torques listed in table 5.
5. Replace the manual actuator on the valve. Adjust
the actuator travel stop to limit the open and closed
positions of the valve disc following the steps in the
appropriate valve instruction manual.
Parts Ordering
When corresponding with your Emerson Process
Management sales office, indicate the size of the M
Series actuator. The size is stamped on the gearbox.
You should also provide the serial number of the
valve.
D Insufficient lubrication
D Seized actuator parts
D Excessive pressure drop across the valve
D Obstruction to the valve disc rotation
If the manual actuator does not seem to control the
process fluid, the worm or drive sleeve gear teeth
may be broken, the handwheel pin may be sheared,
or the valve parts may be broken. Purchase a
replacement manual actuator if necessary. Refer to
the valve instruction manual if valve maintenance is
needed.
Lubrication
The interior parts of the M Series actuator should be
lubricated on a regular schedule with a quality gear
lubricant. The interior parts should also be lubricated
whenever difficulty in handwheel rotation indicates a
need for lubrication.
WARNING
Use only genuine Fisherr replacement
parts. Components that are not
supplied by Emerson Process
Management should not, under any
circumstances, be used in any Fisher
valve, because they will void your
warranty, might adversely affect the
performance of the valve, and could
give rise to personal injury and
property damage.

Neither Emerson, Emerson Process
Management, nor any of their affiliated
